We call it Day 1 when the US ambassador to Saudi Arabia was assassinated by a bomb inside the embassy at Jeddah.

On 22 June 1941, over eighty-five years ago, SS Einsatzgruppe C entered Ukraine in the wake of the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Four Einsatzgruppen in total fanned out from Poland through the Baltics and as far east and south as the German army went. They had a single mission: to shoot Jews.

I watched Citizen Vigilante yesterday on YouTube 18+. You may have heard about the controversy. The full-length thriller which released in US cinemas, on Apple TV and Amazon Prime on June 19 was banned in Germany. Elon Musk’s X therefore gave it free hosting purely because of, and not in spite of, its gory caution against the spread of Islamic violence in the West.

They were aged as young as 13 when they left their classrooms across Australia on Thursday 23 November 2023. They were led by children aged 16. They took to the streets in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide to march for the proscribed terror organisation Hamas in Gaza, barely a month since Hamas had attacked Israel killing 1,200 people, raping and taking others hostage including children younger than them.

A year ago, today May 3, though a Saturday, the Australian conservative Liberal-National Party Coalition lost an unlosable federal election giving Labor, filled with promises of social harmony and responsible spending, a second term.

With today’s alleged attempted knife murders in the Jewish enclave of Golders Green and of arson attacks on a synagogue in Melbourne and a kosher restaurant in Sydney, we now have UK and Australia admitting to terrorism on their soil by the Islamic Republic of Iran and its IRGC.

Why are the US and Israel currently fighting a war in Iran? You’ll not hear any European leader say it. It’s for women. It’s for women to be free, to express themselves, to not be abused, not be harassed nor judged by a religious standard, and not be mutilated through torture or executed by men who claim that God decrees that women be subordinated to them.
